Bond is battered but unbowed in explosive Skyfall

by Sara Michelle Fetters SGN A&E Writer

Francois Duhamel

SKYFALL Opens November 9 After a four-year hiatus, Daniel Craig returns as Ian Fleming’s iconic British secret agent James Bond in Skyfall. Directed

by Academy Award-winner Sam Mendes (American Beauty, Revolutionary Road), with a script partially written by John Logan (Gladiator, Hugo), the movie celebrates the 50th anniversary of the films while also confidently

launching the franchise into the future. The pair pay homage to the cinematic and cultural significance of the series utilizing modern themes, allowing the picture to take on immediate emotional significance no other Bond can claim and raising the game to a level further 007 adventures will have trouble reaching.

The story begins with Bond weary from service and unsure if MI6 still has his (and England’s) best interests at heart, seemingly plunging to his death after his effort to retrieve a top-secret en-

crypted list of undercover agents stolen by a nameless adversary goes awry. But when the man behind the theft, a psychotic cybercriminal going by the name of Silva (Javier Bardem), challenges M (Judi Dench) to a sadistic game of cat-and-mouse potentially littered with collateral damage, 007 returns to the fight, unsure if his heart is still in it even though he knows putting his life on the line and stopping this madman is the right thing to do. see skyfall page 24

Keeping up with all of the in-movie video games gags and aside is virtually impossible. From the Bad-a-Non Support Group, to appearances by the likes of Q-Bert, Princess Daisy, and Chun-Li, to numerous other visual references game fanatics will enjoy pointing out to their less clued-in friends, the filmmakers have done their homework.

They make King Candy, a colorful conglomeration of the Mad Hatter and Humpty Dumpty, a hissable villain but one with a tragic back-story that makes his actions understandable as well as risible.

It gets a little overly chaotic and silly at the end, never quite achieving the same start-tofinish brilliance Pixar manages more often than not (the three Toy Story adventures being the most obvious example). The rushed nature of the final act, while fitting the video-game esthetic, wasn’t entirely satisfying.

WRECK-IT RALPH Now playing Wreck-It Ralph (voiced by John C. Reilly) is tired of being the bad guy. He’s the thug in the old-school “Fix-It Felix Jr.” video game, the guy responsible for all the smashing and mashing and bashing that puts the residents of Niceland in jeopardy. He looks at Felix (Jack McBrayer) and his magic hammer with envy, longing to earn the same type of shiny gold medal of appreciation his nemesis receives daily. In short, he wants to be the good guy. Being bad has led the gigantic brute to the edge of depression.

And so he “turbos,” or gamejumps, leaping out of his threedecade-old favorite into a brandnew CGI first-person shooter, “Hero’s Duty.” Using brute strength over intellect, he finally secures a medal all his own, but one calamity leads to another and next thing Ralph knows he’s in the middle of the candy-coated racing game “Sugar Rush,” arguing with pint-sized wannabe racer Vanellope von Schweetz (Sarah Silverman). She steals his medal so she can enter the race establishing the next day’s combatants, her glitchy personality making the omnipotent King Candy (Alan Tudyk) fearful she’ll turn off the players and lead to their game being unplugged.

on the long side, and as is Mendes’ usual modis operandi, he does tend to hold some scenes a bit longer than necessary. Additionally, some of his callbacks to previous Bond films, while admittedly amusing, aren’t particularly necessary. Yet none of this is a very big deal, and by and large everything going on is character-driven, all the pieces propelling the story forward without pointless fodder added just for show.

CRAIG, CO-STARS SHINE Which brings us to the actors. While Craig will never erase the ghost of Sean Connery, he’s grown into the role nicely, adding elements to Bond’s psyche that heretofore had remained unexplored. As for Dench, she’s made a wonderful M for almost two decades now, but other than being put into mortal peril in The World Is Not

Enough she hasn’t been used nearly as effectively as she could have been. Mendes and Logan change that and Dench is unsurprisingly up for the challenge, her relationship with her most trusted spy taking on a significance more akin to John le Carré than to Fleming (which is a very, very good thing indeed).

Then there is Bardem. He doesn’t even appear until almost an hour into the film, and yet once he materializes you can’t imagine Skyfall without him. His is the dominating presence around which everything, including Bond, revolves, the unshakable menace following in his wake difficult to shrug off. This isn’t a reproduction of his Oscarwinning No Country for Old Men villain, no. Instead, his Silva is a different sort of animal, a cagey creature unafraid to gets his hands dirty but weeping for the days when he could walk in the sunlight clean. He’s an ambiguous chameleon who knows how to subvert the game even when insisting that everyone else play by the rules, in the process becoming the type of danger 007 would almost be smart to avoid.

Does this make Bond’s 23rd outing the greatest of them all? It’s too early to say – From Russia With Love, Goldfinger, On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, and For Your Eyes Only still reign at near the top of any list. But without question – and this is from someone who put Casino Royale on her 2006 top-ten list – this is the best of the Craig outings, Mendes bringing the character full-circle in a way no other filmmaker before him ever has. For 50 years Bond has stirred our imaginations and shaken our emotional defenses to the core, and based on Skyfall, it wouldn’t surprise me if he keeps on doing it for 50 more.

DAY-LEWIS ASTOUNDING High praise? Yes, and it’s meant to be.

Lincoln, while not without a couple of missteps, is a remarkable experience. More than just an important piece of history, the movie is an enthralling and invigorating sojourn into the mind of a leader driven to keep his nation intact and willing to do almost anything to ensure those residing within its borders have the opportunities extolled by the Constitution. There is excitement here, drama and humor, too, everything building to a climax of personal responsibility and inherent virtue all of us at some innate level aspire to.

something with this story, have found modern parallels only the most clueless viewers will fail to notice. Much like the now reelected 44th President managed with the automotive bailout and the health care reform law (i.e., Obamacare), Lincoln fought, and

ery Oscar-winning performance, vanishes into the ether. There are sequences and scenes where you never know what he is going to say, how he is going to act, or what

and Kushner stage these events with evasive bravado, not shying away from some of the shadier aspects of the dealing (and doubledealing) Lincoln was forced to engage in as well as the truth-stretching required to keep his own party in line. The dialogue is razor sharp, constantly on the money, maintaining historical accuracy but effused with a rat-a-tattat zippiness found in classic romantic comedies like His Girl Friday or The Philadelphia Story. Moreover, all of this closed-room wheeling and dealing, coupled with raucous speeches made on the floor of the House of Representatives, generates the kind of same suspense-fueled verbal pyrotechnics of past courtroom classics like Anatomy of a Murder or Judgment at Nuremberg. It’s electric, watching it more thrilling than just about any suspense flick or action extravaganza released in 2012.

SPADER A TREAT There are some great supporting turns, most notably from Strathairn, Tommy Lee Jones (portraying Republican congressman Thaddeus Stevens, almost a certain Oscar nominee), Hal Holbrook (as legendary D.C. power broker Preston Blair), and Sally Field, cutting a potent and emotionally turbulent swath as First Lady Mary Todd Lincoln. But for my money, the standout performance comes from none other than James Spader, his inhabitation of gregarious and freewheeling dealmaker (think of him as an early version of a lobbyist) W.N. Bilbo one of the picture’s most unabashed joys.

There are some overreaches. I’m not certain Lincoln’s relationship with his children, youngest Tad (Gulliver McGrath) and eldest Robert (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), comes into as sharp a focus as either Spielberg or Kushner hoped it would. Also, while I liked the moment the film chooses to end on, a definite case could be made that things should have wrapped up much earlier, going out on a brilliantly lit scene of a wearied but unbowed President heading out to a certain theater most viewers will know the tragic historical significance of.

But, truly, I can find little of fault in regards to Lincoln. This is a triumph for all involved, a high water mark for Spielberg and company impossible to dismiss or resist. The director rises to heights many of us weren’t sure he was still capable of, the film itself a rousing historical document he and his team should be more than proud of.

It’s outstanding, and in the end I’m not sure anything more needs to be said.

Twentieth Century Fox

LINCOLN Opens November 9 The Civil War is nearing its end. President Abraham Lincoln (Daniel Day-Lewis), just elected to a second term, knows this, as do his most trusted advisors like Secretary of State William Seward (David Strathairn). The South will surrender, of that there can be no doubt, and as Gen. Ulysses S. Grant (Mad Men’s Jared Harris) movies closer to victory, the longest and bloodiest conflict in the history of the still-young United States of America will soon be over.

This is why Lincoln knows that the 13th Amendment to the Constitution must be voted on and passed by the House of Representative before the lameduck session comes to an end. With the war over, a constitutional ban on slavery might not be possible, and with the legality of his Emancipation Proclamation at Gettysburg in question, the President feels this issue must be settled now, before the conflict ends.

Inspired by historian Doris Kearns Goodwin’s landmark Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln, director Steven Spielberg’s long-gestating Lincoln finally makes its way to the multiplex this weekend, delivering a sobering and soaring story of determination and heroism belying its stodgy Capitol Hill and White House settings. Fitted with a script by Tony winner and Academy Award nominee Tony Kushner (Munich, Angels in America) that ranks as one of his finest, the Raiders of the Lost Ark and Schindler’s List filmmaker has delivered his most restrained and minimalistic effort in eons – at least since Saving Private Ryan, probably since Sugarland Express – and has reminded us just how great he can be when he puts his mind to it.

Day-Lewis is every bit as awesome as you’d expect him to be. His performance as honest old Abe is a sublime and cagey mixture of heart, hokum, moxie, and grit, the actor disappearing inside the role so fully that everything he’s done before, ev-

Daniel Day-Lewis’ performance as honest old Abe is a sublime and cagey mixture of heart, hokum, moxie, and grit, the actor disappearing inside the role so fully that everything he’s done before vanishes into the ether. at that precise moment, at a time before the war ended and while a bevy of Democrats still retained their seats, more than likely it wouldn’t get passed at all. He used the political capital garnered from his own reelection to get it done by any means necessary, because he was positive it was the right thing to do, an action history has shown to be more than accurate.

A PARABLE FOR OUR TIMES And it’s fascinating to watch. Spielberg Spielberg and Kushner have tapped into

it is, exactly, that’s on the forefront of his mind. He’s leader and father, caregiver and seducer, lion and mouse – using whichever trait will best serve the given moment, trying to be everything and anything for those he cares about, even if he’s not entirely sure which tack is best.

Miss V #1 liked “the man who jumped high” in one premiere. Miss A, as usual, “liked it all.”

But she loved the fourth choice, Sum Stravinsky, with its classically inspired, blue-and-white ballroom elegance, best.

“I study ballet and want to dance like that,” she charmed after the show. Miss V #2 wanted “more princesses,” but happily found them in two of the four works.

“Are you coming to the Nutcracker, girls?” one lovely pair of female friends (who go out of their way to make the Trio feel welcome in the adult world of the press room) asked. “We already have it on our arts calendar for the busy holiday season,” the Trio replied in various phrasings. Right on.

(Morris, if you’ll recall, was the tubby Gay kid from Renton and Seattle who became the enfant terrible of the international ballet world.)

Kiyon Gaines’ Sum Stravinsky, which closes the evening, is the only traditional “tutu-and-tights” work on the program – and one of the most beautiful ballets ever staged by PNB. Its multitoned costumes, incredible ballroom set, and on-target lighting made it an audience favorite from the moment the curtain went up.

The four-part program continues with evening and matinee performances through Sunday. Call PNB at (206) 441-2429 or visit www.pnb.org for details. The Trio “discovered” the Teen Tix program (yay, team!) and the gift shop (“There goes the limit on our Visa,” the coordinating/driving parent grinned as the three scooped up about $567,987 in “necessary” souvenirs).

All hail the ‘King’ SCT’s latest show helps children learn about poverty

by Milton W. Hamlin SGN A&E Writer DANNY, KING OF THE BASEMENT SEATTLE CHILDREN’S THEATRE Through November 18 Seattle Children’s Theatre broke box office records with its recent frazzle-dazzle production of Dr. Seuss’ immortal The Cat In The Hat. The company’s second show of the fall season is the perfect contrast: Danny, King of the Basement scores strongly in the timely arena – literally roped from the headlines and/or from the cheerful Real Change vendor and her bright-eyed son standing on the corner outside SCT with dreams of better days in their eyes.

As usual this season, this scribe and the Terrific Trio (minus one) tackled the show.

Miss V, now-famous granddaughter and 5th grader, and Miss A, the oh-so-sleekand-sophisticated 7th grader, arrived to find the welcoming SCT lobby overflowing.

It was the last day of The Cat in the Hat, and there was a standing room-only sign in the ticket window, bespeaking that production’s great success.

A school chum of Miss A asked, logically, “Are you here for Cat – do you have an extra ticket?” Miss A, in her Grace Kelly mode, smiled and revealed, “Oh, no, we saw that weeks ago – we’re here for this new play, Danny, King of the Basement. We had a terrible time getting a copy to read ahead of time – V’s grandfather is a tyrant about being prepared,” she smiled. “Maybe you

read our comments in his review.” Well, that earned a lot of points for the now (temporarily) Dubious Duo. Danny, thankfully, exceeded expectations. The award-winning new script without the presold lure of Cat in the Hat opened to modest audiences in SCT’s smaller, intimate theatre. But a top-notch script, an intelligent set and costume design, on-target direction, and out-and-out brilliant performances by the super-talented cast made the 60-minute production one of the most emotionally charged theatrical events currently on stage in Seattle.

FANTASY AND REALITY The story of a seriously dysfunctional mother/son family only one food-bank trip away from living under a bridge in a contemporary Canadian city, Danny pushes all the emotional buttons. Danny’s mother is loving and caring but simply unable to cope with the challenges of being a single, out-of-work parent. Danny loves fantasy – why deal with the reality of poverty and boots that don’t fit when you can secretly be a superhero who doesn’t need a winter coat or good winter shoes? He keeps the little money they have and doles it out in small change. “Don’t buy cigarettes or give it away to really poor people,” he instructs his emotionally fragile mother. “And bring me the change.” The child/woman mother agrees, only to fail in that simple assignment.

She does find a small basement apart-

ment in a nice house owned by a recently rich woman now living on all-too-late child support. Danny – now “King” of the tiny apartment – encounters two neighboring children: a tubby boy who wants to be a Canadian hockey superstar but has yet to score a goal, and the rich girl upstairs who is so popular and so busy with ballet classes, art lessons, piano recitals, and endless shopping sprees that she honestly needs “two phones to keep in touch with all my friends.” Yeah, and denial is a river in Egypt (or so reads a friend’s needlepoint pillow).

The story is written for children – all three of the Terrific Trio were glued to the script, reading and rereading it … and shar-

ing it with friends. Because Miss V #2 had a family emergency and could not go, both of the Duo want to know if they can see it again with her. “She can’t miss it,” they pleaded in harmony, “it’s so good.” This writer, moved to tears in the play’s final moments, has agreed to attend a second performance with them – a rare scheduling event for a busy Seattle theater reporter.

Tickets and reservations are available at www.sct.org. As usual with SCT’s two theaters, productions overlap. The next show is (drum roll, please) a welcome revival of The Wizard of Oz, November 15 to December 6.

Pulitzer-winning ’night, Mother poses a troubling question

scarred by life and have reacted in two very different ways.

Tom (Ben Huber) is feeling trapped and suffocated by his boring job at a factory, the unrelenting fact that his income supports his mother and sister, and the constant berating of his loving-but-on-edge mother, which is making the rest of his life untenable. So Tom longs to escape.

Laura (Brenda Joyner) has become cripplingly shy, partly from a disability, and is so afraid of her demanding mother (Suzanne Bouchard) that she would rather wander the city from dawn to dusk than tell her that she has dropped out of secretarial school. Laura’s escape is to make stories up about her collection of glass animals (the “glass menagerie”) and to listen to old records over and over again.

Amanda is also trapped, both by a lack of skills to make her own living (besides selling magazine subscriptions to her neighbors) and by her memories of being popular with the opposite sex. She settled on a man who worked for the telephone company and “fell in love with long distance.” Though he’s been gone for years, her husband’s portrait hangs over the family as an unspeaking character part.

Frozen treat

done, making her a fright of a mother. Instead, Abraham and Bouchard create a realistic portrait of a woman on the edge, who loves her children but has no real understanding of how to communicate with them.

Certainly, she is not able to fix any of their problems. Bouchard, as Amanda, earns every moment of anger and frustration and is masterful in her command of the role.

Riedmann does a great job as the unsuspecting Jim, who comes into this strange home with the 1930s fellow-looking-forthe-next-chance attitude of a young man on the rise. But he also perceives Laura’s inhibitions and is able to tease her out of her shyness. He handles with an easy grace the moment when he has to let Laura down gently.

The actors all imbue their characters with real and accessible flaws. It’s a moody atmosphere, accentuated with a gauze curtain over the back of the living space in Mikiko Suzuki MacAdams’ simple living-room set and eerie lighting from L.B. Morse. A subtle soundscape by Obadiah Eaves brings in quiet period music to underscore scenes.

The lovely costumes by Frances Kenny have their pinnacle in the moment when Amanda wears her ancient debutante costume, revealing the gay belle underneath the tension.

The sure-handed directing of Abraham is undercut just a little by having the fire escape visible only with lighting and doubling as the normal doorway. Putting the main entrance/exit on the other side of the stage might help matters.

ILL-FATED MATCHMAKING Amanda has begun to pressure Tom into helping his sister find a husband, asking him to haul a factory worker home to dinner.

Tom announces that he has asked Jim over for the next evening, putting the women into a frantic hurry to fix everything nicely beforehand. Jim (Eric Riedmann) turns out to be an old high school crush of Laura’s – which exacerbates her terror at his coming to her house.

The play, as directed by Braden Abraham, does not demonize Amanda as is so often

’NIGHT, MOTHER KTO PRODUCTIONS Through November 17 A tightly directed, challenging one-act is being independently mounted by Seattle’s KTO Productions. ’night, Mother by Marsha Norman, which won the Pulitzer Prize in 1983, is an intense look inside a tortured mother-daughter relationship.

In fact, just moments after we meet Thelma Cates (Bradetta Vines), as she wanders around her house shouting a bit aimlessly to her daughter, Jessie (Danielle Daggerty), Jessie announces that she’s going to kill herself – after she gives her mom a manicure. Jessie’s aim in telling her mother this is to spare her the anguish of not knowing why she did it. Jessie thinks this will be helpful, so her mother doesn’t focus on how or why she couldn’t have stopped her daughter’s action.

That immediately starts the audience ruminating on the question, If someone in your life were going to commit suicide, would you want to know ahead of time?

Even if you knew there were no options to stop it? The challenge to the audience is intense and draws everyone into a battle to either cope with the inevitable (will Jessie succeed?) or hope for some kind of successful intervention (will Thelma find a way to stop her?).

A BLEAK OUTLOOK The lives of the Cates women are not glamorous. They eat tons of candy and neither one of them ever leaves the house, due to their multiple emotional problems. Jessie also has epilepsy, which at the time of Norman’s composition was much more debilitating than it is now. Driving was impossible, along with many other tasks. The two also live far out in the country.

In the course of the evening, Jessie lays out all the ways she has tried and found failure in her life, with a failed marriage, a son who seems headed for jail, and an inability to hold even the least challenging of jobs. She’s decided that the one thing she can control is whether to continue living this aimless, unfulfilling life. Thelma’s life is similar, though she is more determined to survive. But that survival mechanism is not easy to quantify or explain to another person, and she can’t find a way to transmit it to her daughter.

The production, directed by Doug Knoop, is well-acted and the rundown living-room set by Mad Dog Productions works well to demonstrate the pair’s meager circumstances. It’s not a very comfortable subject, but the experience of the challenge is well worthwhile.

music Diamond Rings seeks his moment to shine

by Albert Rodriguez SGN A&E Writer

What would happen if David Bowie, Grace Jones, Kate Bush, Adam Lambert, and Scissor Sisters all had a baby together?

This guy. Young, ambitious newcomer Diamond Rings is among a barrage of fresh faces looking for his musical breakthrough, and he’s got the chops to back up his potential. The Toronto-based artist just released his first major-label CD, Free Dimensional, to favorable reviews and is steadily intro-

ducing himself to American fans with a coast-to-coast tour that includes a November 15 performance at The Crocodile (visit www.thecrocodile.com for ticket information). Diamond Rings himself, as he states in this interview, is quick to note that his garage-punk-meets-glam-pop sound and style might not be for everybody, but it hurts nothing to give him a try. I caught up with the openly Gay musician right after a sound check in Chicago recently and here’s what he revealed to me inside The Music Lounge.

Rodriguez: You’ve played Seattle before, as recently as earlier this year. Do you have any memories of being here?

Diamond Rings: I remember having a cupcake named after Kate Bush at Cupcake Royale. That’s one of my fondest memories. The shows in Seattle were good, too.

Rodriguez: Can you describe your live show – the energy, any lighting or visual effects?

Diamond Rings: Yeah, it’s got all of those. It’s the first time I’m touring with a full band, as well. It’s really exciting, finding the right people, putting it together, designing the outfits. It offers me a lot more room to be creative.

Rodriguez: When you say “full band,” are we talking drummer, keyboardist, guitars, the whole works?

Diamond Rings: Yeah, yeah. Me and then three [others].

Rodriguez: Do you play all the songs from the new album, any cover tunes?

Diamond Rings: We’ve been mostly playing the entire album. I’ve been really excited about how it sounds. And some stuff from the last album, got a few surprises in there, too. So it’s a cool show.

Rodriguez: Can you tell me about your influences getting into music?

Diamond Rings: My influences are pretty diverse, like anywhere from Kylie Minogue to Kraftwerk to Depeche Mode.

Anything with a message that’s strong and powerful and honest, especially artists who pride themselves with attention to detail beyond their physical appearance and the esthetics. Those are the kinds of things that inspire me.

Rodriguez: Every Gay boy growing up traditionally has a favorite female artist they follow religiously, and I’m wondering who yours might be.

Diamond Rings: I guess for me, it would probably be Kylie Minogue. I think she’s the best. She has a great personality, she’s a great entertainer. She’s not a songwriter, so someone like Kate Bush or Annie Lennox would be somebody I’d feel I had more in common with.

Rodriguez: In one of your music videos, you’re dancing in the street with four other dancers behind you.

It takes place in a random neighborhood, and I particularly like the pants you’re wearing.

Diamond Rings: The zebra ones?

Glad you like them.

Rodriguez: Don’t let me get too close or I might steal them.

Diamond Rings: They sell them at American Apparel, so they can be yours for $29.99 [laughs]. That was pretty early on in my career – that was before I thought of myself as a person who would have a career. All that early stuff has a special place in my heart because literally my friends and I weren’t trying to do anything special, but just create ideas and how to use them. I feel like with this new record, the visions with me now are coming from a much stronger and confident place.

Rodriguez: What’s ahead for you in the latter part of 2012 and early 2013?

Diamond Rings: More touring, more songwriting, and hopefully getting to spend a little bit of time at home and back to a regular schedule, start exercising again. Being on the road is pretty tough. But I’ll just keep busy and be focused on what I have to do, and that is to write great songs.

Rodriguez: Do you have any specific goals or expectations for the new album?

Diamond Rings: I had goals and expectations, but for me as an artist those are more directly related to making the album itself. I had a vision and I saw that vision through, and I was really excited about what I was willing to create. Of course I have goals – I’d love for people to buy the album, I want to keep playing shows, I want to keep growing and put on a better, more entertaining live show. Not everyone can necessarily love the album, not everyone can necessarily love the show, and that’s fine. For anyone trying to create something exciting and transgressive you’re bound to turn people off as much as turn them on.

Let’s hope at the end of the day we’re able to elicit some kind of reaction.

Rodriguez: If anyone is headed to Toronto and wants to catch a live show, where do you recommend they go?

Diamond Rings: It’s so hard to say. I saw Scissor Sisters play in a lounge with like 2,000 seats, and you can see great shows where 200 people are crammed into a tiny, sweaty little space with no windows. For me, it’s more about the band and where they’re playing. There’s exciting places all over the city. There’s obviously a lot of stuff happening in the Village, but I live about as far west as you can be, so my advice is to go west.

Don’t forget, Maroon 5 performs at Key Arena on March 11.

CARRIE UNDERWOOD In a genre with very few LGBT allies, Underwood braved a storm of criticism from her conservative fans by adding her name to the list of same-sex marriage backers. Even after being asked to reconsider, the multiple Grammy and CMA winner stood her ground. Underwood recently performed to a near-sellout crowd at Seattle’s Key Arena.

BEN GIBBARD Death Cab for Cutie frontman Gibbard not only voiced his support for marriage equality in a blog just days before the election, but he performed a special concert at Smith Tower last month and donated all proceeds to the campaign.

“Hello, X-tina? This is Seattle Gay News.”

Yes, it’s true: I spoke with the multiple Grammy-winning singer via e-mail. She was very nice and professional, answering questions about her career, Adam Levine, and her reaction to this week’s Gay marriage victories across the country. Aguilera releases her newest album, Lotus, on Tuesday, November 13 – her first recording of original material in two years.

Currently appearing on the Emmy-nominated reality show The Voice, Aguilera is a really busy mama these days – oh yeah, she’s a real-life mom to four-year-old son Max – but she took time to sit down at a laptop computer and type up answers to my questions. The New York native recently announced nominations for the upcoming American Music Awards, and she’s also set to perform on the November 18 telecast.

MINUS THE BEAR Local indie band Minus the Bear performed a late August gig at Capitol Hill’s Comet Tavern to promote their new album, Infinity Overhead, but mainly to raise awareness and donate proceeds from the intimate show to Equal Rights Washington.

Lead singer Jake Snider, who celebrated the 10th anniversary of his own hetero marriage this year, said, “It’s incredibly fucked up that people can’t get married who are in love.” Minus the Bear give another hometown performance November 17 at The Showbox Market.

BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN If you need some muscle, who better to turn to than The Boss.
